In this episode, I dive into the struggles that many introverts face when it comes to asking for help. Drawing from my own experiences as a former lawyer and now a coach and midlife mentor, I explore why asking for assistance can often feel like a sign of weakness, and how overcoming this mindset can be transformative—especially for introverts in business and leadership roles.
Key Points:
- The stigma of asking for help
- Working for others vs. working for yourself
- The importance of outsourcing and delegation
- Reframing the role of a business owner
- Developing a “CEO mentality”
Key Takeaways:
- Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a strategic move to strengthen your business or career.
- Introverts can thrive by leveraging their strengths and outsourcing tasks that don't align with their core skills.
- Viewing yourself as a CEO can help you make better decisions about delegation and collaboration.
